A 30 something in love with books. All books. I strive to give honest and open reviews and opinions. Since I first learned to read at 4 years old I have pretty much read anything that I can get my hands on, and I want to share that love of reading and books with you!

Fourteen-year-old Bonnie MacDonald couldn't be more excited for a camping trip on an island off the coast of Thailand with her fellow Amelia Earhart Cadets-the daughters of the men and women stationed there during the Vietnam War. But when a strong current deposits the girls on what their boatman calls the "forbidden island," things take a turn for the worse: A powerful storm comes to destroy their campsite, the smallest of the junior cadets is found dead, and their boatman never returns. What once seemed like a vacation in paradise has become a battle against the elements.

Peppered with short, frantic entries from Bonnie's journal, Lost Girls is a page-turning, heart-pounding adventure story about a group of teen girls fighting for their lives.

How coold does that sound? It's like Lord of the Flies, but with girls. Even though I already have an ARC of this one, I am forcing myself not to read it until at least May. We will see how well that works out.
